Well we're less greedy and less short-sighted than many people, so that proves it's possible. How do we help make a world where there are more empathetic, farsighted people? How do we build a system that incentivises acting in this way?

These are questions which have answers. There won't ever be one right answer for every situation, but there are worse and better answers.

And if I thought humanity was worth it I’d look for those better answers, but we’re not.

I'm down with exploring the lower depths of an eschatological philosophy. I'd just rather not die from a bad tooth if I'm going to be forced to be here anyway.

Good news! You’ll die of cancer from forever chemicals first!

Yay humanity!
